Tina Turner's cause of death confirmed after singer's health battle

Tina Turner's cause of death has been confirmed, according to reports. The music legend died aged 83 on Wednesday, May 24, at her home in Switzerland, prompting a flood of tributes from entertainment stars and fans.

In the years since she retired from touring in 2009, Tina had suffered from cancer, a stroke and kidney failure. And now her representative has said that she died from natural causes, MailOnline reports.

Tina's husband Erwin Bach donated a kidney to her in 2017 in a bid to treat her chronic kidney failure, which she called a "silent killer" not long before her death. Tina admitted she had turned to homeopathic cures for her high blood pressure, which put her at risk of further kidney damage.
